Money 10 be Made.

1t is said that dull times are not
known by the agents of the great
publishing house of George Stinson
& Co., of Portland, Maine, The rea,
son OF this exceptional success is
found in the fact that they always
give the public that which is keenly
appreciated and at prices that all can
afford. At present, we understand,
their agents are doing wonderfully well
on several new lines, They need many
more agents in all parts Of the
country. Those who need profitable
work should apply at once. Women
do as well as men. Experience is
no, necessary, for Messrs. Stnson &
Co. undertake to show all who are
willing to work, not hard but earn
cstly, the path to large success. 1t
should be remembered that an agent
can do handsome business without
being away from home over night.
Another advantage-it costs nothing
to give the business a trial, and an
agent can devote al! his time, or only
his spare moments to it. Stinson Il
Co. guarantee grand success to all
who engage and follow simple and
plain directions that they give.

A PITIABLE SPECTACLE.
Seraflno Gallacie, Raving Maniac,
Brought up from ShOshone.

Seri6no Gallacie, al Italian, was
brought up from Shoshone on las,
nights train, and taken to the county
hospita, for treatment, The man Is q
raving maniac.
Night before last he was found in a
hay NOW on the ranch of q Mr.. Muir
ply, about four miles from Shoshone.
Nearly destitute of clothing, he was
numb with cold, and pinched with
hunger and exposure. Being taken
to the Murphy dwelling, he was pro-
vided with clothing and food, and soon
began throwing crockery, furniture,
etc, about IN every direction. Mr..
Murphy, fearing for the safety of his
family, thereupon seized a shotgun
and fired at Gallacie, peppering him
with shot and putting one eye out.
DR.. kibbe, who is attending him,
states that his feet and hands have
been frozen and that some of his
fingers and toes will have to be am.
putated.
He will probably be sent to the in
sane asylum at Blackfoot.

A GENERAL IMPROVEMENT,
That Is Dun & Co.'s Report OF the Con.
ditiOR Of Business.

R. G. Dun & Co. report general
advance in prices, based upon the
fact that the volume OF currency in
circulation is greater than ever before,
and the consequent removal of the
fear of monetary pressure at the chief
centres of trade. Business is active
for the season, with a great increase
at most Western and Southern cities
AT Chicago, the relief after the hang
ing aud funeral of Anarchists, gives
anew impetus; at Omaha collections
are satisfactory and trade good; bet
ter business is noted at Boston, es.
pecially in wool, boots and shoes, and
leather. AT Milwaukee trade is slight
ly duller; the recelvership for the
largest local dealers in mining prop.
critics causes some disbursement
At Atlanta trade is slightly less ac-
tive, and merchants are bending their
energies to the work of liquidation
At Memphis serious damage results
from the long drought and prevalent
fires, and Nashville finds tres and
failures an embarrassment. A bank
failure, caused by phenomena loans
to various manufacturing concerns,
affects St. Louis; the closing Of a
Canadian bank at Sault Ste. Marie is
reported, and money continues close
at Kansas City. Collections are dull
there, slow at Milwaukee, only fair at
Nashville and Atlanta, and slightly
backward at Philadelphia.
The great speculation in wheat goes
on in spite OF Il decline of 100000
bushels in October exports, and g.
100000 in September. "Never mind
the exports; we are making money"
the traders say; but the quantity re-
naming on hand November lst, after
allowance for full yelr's consump.
ton, was 19O,9OO,O0O bushels, where
as the exports for the remaining
months of the last crop year were
100, 76S,94l bushels Corn is excited
because of the Bureau reduction of
50,OOO,OOO in its estimate; at the
same time pork products and cattle
rise. Yesterdays markets showed
sharp reaction in grain, but whether
the speculation has eliminated no one
can say. Cotton has reacted burt little
from the great advance caused by the
Bureau report, but receipts continue
large beyond precedent; If the Bureau
estimate of 100000 bales is correct,
the quantity which has come forward
already, about 3,254,O 900 bales, is not
less than 81 6 per cent. of the Years
yield. 1t is not strange that some are
in doubt about it.
Stocks advanced an average OF 81
points from the lowest month ago,
hut showed some hesitation on Thurs
dav and Friday. under large sales
from Europe and elsewhere. Excel.
lent earnings aud prosperous business
in the interior are the prevailing ar
guments, and there are very many
new enterprises waiting to find buy
ers for SECURITIES, so that strong parties
are ANXIOUS for sustained advance.
The iron interest is especially con
cerned; consumption continues large,
and prices are still held, with strong
hope that the marketing of securities
NAV ensure another year of extensive
railroad building In 10 months, g.
40S miles have been completed,
against 5000 in the whole Of last
wear. Coal is in great demand. the
Reading having given notice of an
other advance for the 2!st.

LITTLE LOST RIVER VALLEY.
Interesting and Newsy Letter from a
Distant Portion Of this County.

HowE, ALTUEAs COUNTY, l. TIL
November %, 1887.
Omaha daily bee., 1887-09-22

The expected fall real estate boom in
Omaha has not yet been realized, but the
evidences Of improvement do not dimin-
ish, and perhaps in the end the city will
be none the worse off for not having the
looked.for boom. Remote outside property
may be a little weaker than a few
months ago, but all inside property is
firm, and there is no reason why
1t should be otherwise. Omaha will
as certainly as the coming of
the year have close upon 1000 popula-
tion in 1890, and will by no means then
have reached the end of its growth.
There is to be very populous city here,
and every desirable piece of land within
the present municipal limits must in.
crease IN value. There should be no loss
of faith by reason of temporary
lull in demand. Just now South
Omaha is forging ahead with marked
activity, and confidence in the future of
that town has most substantial basis.
Altogether the conditions with respect to
this city and all the tributary country are
entirely favorable and the outlook most
promising.

Disagree,ng Einancters

The most successful iinanciers are quite
as certain to disagree upon a question
which they are supposed to know all
about as are successful doctors upon any
proposition connected with the science
of which they are the cxponents. just
now, when the present and prospective
condition of the money market is q mat.
ter of commanding interest, and the
operations Of tho treasury in connection
Herewith are of great importance, it is
most natural to seek the views of leading
bankers and financiers with view of
getting sound reasons for the existing
conditions and suggestions of what
Is necessary to be done to re-
lieve present and provide against
future difficulties. A collection of
opinions from number of Wall
street magnates by New York paper
shows what a confusion of ideas exists
among these practical tinanciers respect
ing the subject upon which they talked,
ana how little their individual opinions
are really worth when applied to the
broad field outside of the banking house
or the stock exchange. 1t is quite possi-
BILE that the average tinancier, so-called,
is Overestimated.
1t is noteworthy, however. that there
was quite general disposition to find
fault with the policy that has been pursued
by the treasury in the purchase of bonds
There could be no better commenda.

creasing, and everything in tho city
occupied. A two.story canning factory
has been built tho past year and is now
in successful operation. The cost OF this
building was $4,000 and it was one of
the important Industries added to the
city the present year. A new gas and
electric light plant making the second
in tho city, has been put in the presens
year Mt cost of $S0,00O and the new
system of waterworks built the present
year cost an even $i5, 600 while bonds
have been voted to increase this plant by
extensions that are to cost $4,000 ad.

is now finished and in paying operation.
The new soldiers. home in course OF
construction costs the state $4,000. The
Union Pacific railroad Is cxpending
$40, 900 In extension to stock yards, and
a conservative citizen states that at least
900 new residences are IN course OF con.
struction. Add to this the fact that Grand
lsland.secures the 1st Of October the free
postal delivery, being the third city in
Nebraska to secure it, and very general
idea of the years prosperity in the city
becomes apparent to all. TRAVELLER.

coming from Wall street. It has not
been common in the past and the fact OF
Its being heard now may be accepted as
pretty good assurance that the secretary
has not only been keeping within the
law, but that he has kept so far within
that those who would have used the gov
eminent to speculate upon the wants OF
the people have been efiectually shut out.
1t would undoubtedly have been an OK.
cellent thing for the sharks Of Wall
street If the secretary Of the treasury had
bought bonds regardless of the interests
Of the people at prices made by such
holders as the New York banking house
that at the outset felt the
governments pulse. so to speak,
by Offering to sell bonds at about per
cent above the market. Wall street has
been proclaiming close money market,
and spreading an alarm OF threatened
financial crisis chiefly for the purpose
OF bringing to bear upon the secretary of
the treasury public demand that would
induce him to take action from which the
financial schemers then hoped to profit.
The secretary came forward opportunely
with an offer Of relief, but he wisely and
properly guarded against any invasion
of the treasury by spectators. He has
done his plain, Straightforward duty under
the law, and he can rest easily re-
garding any adverse opinion of his
course that may proceed from Wall
street.
So far as the money stringency is con-
cerned it will be but temporary. The in
flow of gold from Europe Is already Civ.
ing relief, and as more comes in the good
effects will increase. The meeting of
congress is distant but little more than
two months. and if the situation is such
at that time as to require any measures
of relief not now possessed by the treas.
ury, it can be promptly supplied. 1t is
not probable, however, that any such
exigency will arise, and if there
is judicious legislation for re.
duclng the revenues there will
be no further complaint heard of close.
ness of money, and the business of the
country IN all departments will feel the
| thrill of an increased activity.
Omaha daily bee., 1887-09-22

The multiplying complaints regarding
the mismanagement of business at the
postoffice, and the general inefficiency Of
the service in every respect, cannot
continue much longer without the atten.
ton of the department at Washington
being called to the matter. Letters are
delayed in delivery from three to six
days, the fault undou btedly being with
the distributing department. Service
at the delivery window is entirely made
quate, causing great annoyance to
transient people who have to rely on it.
In most other respects the service of the
Office falls far short of the growing de-
mands Of the city. All this can be
remedied if the postmaster, properly
supported by the congressman, will make
proper and adequate effort. A simple
statement that certain facilities are re-.
quired and request that they be fur
nished is not sufficient. Pcrsistant urging
is necessary, and the men to DO this are
tho postmaster and the member of con-
gress. Should it appear from continu:
ance of the present state of affairs that
they are neglectlng this duty public
patience will become exhausted and an
other way he found of notifying the de-
partment that the postal service in Omaha
Is about the worst in the country.

Crocker.s Cool sueeestion.


The Pacific Railroad commission, in Its
examination into the affairs Of the Cen
trail and Southern Pacific roads yesterday,
directed few leading questions to MIR.
Crocker. The latter did mot think it
fair, with his physically impaired mem.
ory, to be examined against the books OF
the company which are and must be
right" Yet, 'if any person asked to see
the books he would tell him 1t was none
OF his business" He suggested
that the government might
very properly grant the road
a hundred and fifty years in which to
pay the debt. This is good. Such an
act would exempt the present owners
from all anxiety growing out of an in
vestigation OF their peculiar methods,
future owners would assume all respon.
sibility, and by this means tie approved
methods now so popular with the man
ayers OF those roads could pursue the
even tenor of their way. If they cannot
wreck the road to their individual profit
during the remainder of their lives, they
can very nearly approximate that end.
Mr.. Crocker's memory may be physi-
cally impaired, as he says, but 1t must be
conceded that he has yet a great mind
for originating plans which will insure
safe. keeping to the plunder already
sacked

Must Be Revoked

The resolution of the republican county
committee, by which Hascall, Bechel and
ten other men of their choice were en-
powered to appoint the delegation to
which Douglas county is entitled in the
republican state convention must be re-.
voked. 1t is revolutionary and unrepubll.
can. 1t establishes dangerous precedent
1t is not IN accord with the sentiment and
wish of the rank and file of the
party. 1t is high.handed at
tempt to misrepresent. this county.
But even if there was no objection to this
unrepublican method the action of the
committee is void because it was brought
about by conspiracy and downright
fraud. There was not quorum of
actual members present at the meeting
Saturday, and the minority present had
no right to admit new members. much
less to allow bogus proxy men
to take part in the proceedings.
Fraudulent in its inception, the whole
transaction must be repudiated and re-
voked. There can be no concession on
the score of expediency and harmony.
The party must have a chance to voice
its sentiment through the usual and
legitimate channel-the ballot cast at a
primary election honestly conducted
under the restrictions imposed by law.
Nothing else will satisfy republicans who
support the party from principle.
